A Clifton Hill man is dead following a Tuesday afternoon (June 25) accident involving his truck and the horse trailer he was pulling.

Per the online report of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, at approximately 1:50 p.m., Tuesday, Roland L. Linneman, 64, was killed after being ejected from his 2002 Ford F250 traveling northbound on US Highway 63, one mile north of Route NN, just north of Renick.

The report notes that Linneman "drifted off the east side of the highway and then re-entered" the roadway, overcorrecting himself, which caused him to "jackknife" with the horse trailer he was pulling, rolling the vehicle into the median and ejecting Linneman, who was not wearing his seat belt.

Randolph County Coroner Gerald Luntsford pronounced Linneman dead on the scene at 2:14 p.m. Next of kin was notified.

Linneman's body was taken to Million Taylor Funeral Home.

The horse being carried in the trailer Linneman was pulling, after being removed from the trailer by a passerby with knowledge of equine care, appeared to have suffered very little injury, per reports from the scene. The animal was looked after by veterinarians from Green Hills Veterinary Clinic, Moberly.

Linneman's vehicle was rendered a total loss, and was towed from the scene by Prather's Towing.

Officials with the Randolph County Sheriff's Department and Randolph County First Responders assisted Troop B of the Missouri State Highway Patrol in the investigation of the incident.
